Glass tops box office for third week leading slowest Super Bowl Weekend in two decades... as newcomer Miss Bala flops

Director M. Night Shyamalan's thriller Glass remained victorious at the domestic box office for the third weekend in a row - not that the thriller had much competition.

Glass added another $9.5 million, enough to top the box office, as newcomer Miss Bala, a drug-cartel drama starring Gina Rodriguez misfired with $6.7 million for third place.

With this weekend's bounty, Glass, starring Bruce Willis, Samul L. Jackson, James McAvoy and Sarah Paulson, has made $88 million in North America and just shy of $200 million globally, according to Box Office Mojo.

The feel-good drama, starring Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston, has now generated $75.5 million at the domestic box office and $7.6 million overseas for a global total of $83.2 million.

Miss Bala debuted in third with its disappointing $6.7 milllion. Gina, best known for starring in the CW series Jane the Virgin, struggled to entice audiences as Gloria, who is drawn into a dangerous world of cross-border crime.

Directed by Twilight helmer Catherine Hardwicke, Miss Bala is based on the popular 2011 Mexican crime movie.

A pair of superhero flicks rounded out the top five. Warner Bros.' Aquaman landed at No. 4 with $4.7 million, while Sony's Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse fell not far behind with $4.4 million.

Aquaman, the latest comic-book adventure from DC's Extended Universe, starring Jason Momoa, has now earned $323.5 million in North America and a massive $1.1 billion worldwide after four weeks on release.

The cartoon web-slinging adventure, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, has generated $175 million in its 12 weeks of release in North America and $347 million globally, becoming Sony's highest-grossing animated movie.

Meanwhile, revenues in North America topped out at $71 million, according to Comscore, the lowest haul for a Super Bowl weekend in almost 20 years.

The biggest weekend in football traditionally slows ticket sales, but a dearth of new high-profile releases brought the worst returns since 2000.

A polar vortex across the midwest and northeast and a deluge of rain across California didn't exactly help business.
